1 dAnce ut Bar HAfhOr.

The Maine statesman's Cosy Sumner Resi-
denee ut Bar Harbor.
"The Blaine Cottage" as the Maine
statesman's summer home is called. is
one of the finest residences at Bar Har-
Dor: 1t is built of native stone up to
the second story. with a top-work of
about three feet of brick. The walls
are built on the bedrock Of the hill on
which the cottage is situated. The
house is on a wood road leading Oh
from Eden street, and is completely
hidden from view by a thick growth OF
mountain pine and balsam. 1t is 15O
feet above the water, over a mile from
the village and surrounded by half a
dozen handsome cottages, which can
be dimly seen through the trees. A
driveway leads up to the rear of the
house, which is so constructed and Or
namented that it has the appearance OF
being the front. Below, on the hill.
are the stables.
The Blaine cottage is larger than
most dwelling-houses. and its rooms
are laid out with great economy OF
space. They are large, and there is
not square foot of the house that is
wasted. Piazzas encircle the house on
the first floor, with ratings of small
stone cemented into a solid wall. Sew
eral of the rooms on the floor above
have long windows opening on balco-
MES. The main sitting-room is nearly
twenty feet square, and the whole
side facing the water, with the ex-
ception of the door. is filled with an
enormous oval piece of French plate
glass. Under this is long divan,
where a dozen may sit at once
and get the grand view. Opening out
of this room and with the same view i:

books and pictures and does his writing
The entire cottage is furnished in ar
elaborate style and the walls are hung
with pictures of many foreign person
ages. who sent them to Mr.. Blaine
while he was Secretary Of State
Throughout the house are cabinets, ia
bles, tapestries. pictures. mural decora
lions and a thousand valuable and in
teresting souvenirs of his public life
Mr.. Blaine is particularly fond of an
Gent engravings and rare portraits
which he has from time to time securet
and had framed, and which now adorr
his summer home.
His library is duplicate in larg'
measure of the more extensive collec
ton of books at Augusta. The furnish
ings of the cottage remain undisturbe6
during the winter. The cottage was de
signed largely by Mrs Blaine, who ha
had her ideas on what a model hom'
should be put into reality in the cot
tage. The location was Mr.. Blaine
choice. but the house was planned b,
his wife. In the details many ideas o
both have been carried out. and as
result '.the Blaine cottage" is admitte'
to be one of the best located, best fur
